The person complaining about the cowboy and Indigenous dolls has no grounds for complaints. I’m curious about what Indigenous individuals think about this? Was the costuming accurate? It was said it was for school instruction. Do we deny and hide away from our history, good or bad? Do we hide away our history because it offends? No we tell it but with an adjusted view and tell both sides.

Rewriting history is never a good idea.

Where there’s smoke …

Re: “Monsef questions unanswered,” Candice Malcolm, Nov. 29.

Another great column by Candice Malcolm. Basically what we have right now is a potential illegal immigrant being shielded by the eastern left-wing media and Little Boy Blunder Trudeau. One can only imagine the uproar from the left-wing media and the liberal CBC if this person was a sitting member of the Conservative party. Just like Morneau, Monsef is also hiding behind whatever she can instead of coming clean with the voters of this country. Honest people will supply the documents required to clear themselves if they are wrongly accused of something the first chance they get. People with something to hide do what Monsef and Morneau are doing. Blaming other people, deflecting direct questions asked of them and hiding behind parliamentary assistants are clear signs of desperate cover-ups by Monsef, Morneau and Little Boy Blunder Trudeau. It’s well proven that where you see smoke, there’s a fire behind it.

The Liberals certainly have serious internal problems to solve.

Trudeau’s contradictions

In what can only be described as “virtue signalling” Justin Trudeau asks Canadian men to “step up” and disavow violence toward women. The same Justin Trudeau that eliminated language in our immigration policy that informs new arrivals of our prohibition of “barbaric practices” like female genital mutilation, honour killing and spousal abuse. Trudeau also visited mosques where women are relegated to areas segregated from men. He sees nothing wrong with Muslim women whose husbands dictate what they must wear, who they may communicate with and under what circumstance they are allowed to leave their homes or appear in public. Perhaps Trudeau should be asking his friends in the Muslim community to “step up.” I have never met anyone from Canada unaware that beating one’s wife with a hockey stick is illegal. Nor have I ever heard of a Canadian man killing his daughters and ex-wife because they had Canadian boyfriends and dressed more provocatively than he wished. Few Canadian women I have met would tolerate for long a husband who dictated their manner of attire or forbade cosmetics. Trudeau is a study in contradiction. While he espouses individual liberties for some, he is comfortable when they are denied to others. Our Prime Minister is definitely not ready for prime time.

That’s been our position since before he became PM.

Another apology?

When pot is legalized will there be an apology and compensation for all those jailed and fined under the old rules? Considering the numbers involved, it could bankrupt the country.
